According to the Records of the Grand Historian, when Count Zhuang of Quwo heard the news of the death of Marquis E, he brought troops to attack Jin.
It says that Count Zhuang of Quwo had an alliance with the Zheng and Xing (邢) states and they attacked Yi (翼), the capital of Jin.
King Huan of Zhou sent troops to help Count Zhuang of Quwo.
Soon afterwards Count Zhuang of Quwo betrayed King Huan of Zhou and attacked him.
King Huan of Zhou then sent the Duke of Guo during the autumn of that year to attack Quwo and placed Marquis Ai on the Jin throne.
